DESCRIPTION

15       The  isupper()  function  shall  test whether c is a character of class
16       upper in the program's current locale; see the Base Definitions  volume
17       of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 7, Locale.
18
19       The  c  argument  is  an  int, the value of which the application shall
20       ensure is a character representable as an unsigned char or equal to the
21       value of the macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the behav‐
22       ior is undefined.
23

RETURN VALUE

25       The isupper() function shall return non-zero if c is an uppercase  let‐
26       ter; otherwise, it shall return 0.
